Although you can create as many groups as you want and name them what you like, there are a number of special groups that are created automatically that cannot be removed. These have special purposes, as described below.
Special Groups
Administrator
– All users that need administrator privileges on Spotfire Server,
including the ability to manage users and groups, must be members
of this group. Membership in this group grants most permissions described
below in addition to administration of preferences, licenses, and
the user directory. The Administrator group does not include the permissions
from the Custom Query Author and Script Author groups.
Important: An administrator MUST ALSO have the Spotfire Administrator
license to access the Administration Manager tool.
Anonymous User – Membership in this group allows anonymous authentication. It contains the guest@ANONYMOUS user.
API User (obsolete) – This group only appears on upgraded systems.
Automation Services Users – Membership in this group grants permission to execute Automation Services jobs on the server, using the Job Builder or the Client Job Sender.
Custom Query Author – Membership in this group grants permission to save scripts written in custom query languages as trusted to the library. Important: an authorized custom query author MUST ALSO have the Custom Query in Connections license enabled to get access to the required user interface.
Deployment Administrator – Membership in this group grants permission to deploy packages to the server. Note that these users can deploy to any area on the server, as well as delete any existing deployment. Members of this group can access the Deployments & Packages section of Spotfire Server.
Diagnostics Administrator – Membership in this group grants permission to view server logs and diagnostics, as well as to set server logging configurations. Members of this group can access the Monitoring & Diagnostics section of the server.
Everyone – this group always contains all users in the system. Its members cannot be modified manually, but you can set licenses for it if you like.
Impersonator (obsolete) – This group only appears on upgraded systems.
Library
Administrator – Membership in this group gives privileges to
create new top level folders in the library. It also overrides all
folder permissions set in the library, granting full control over
all content. All users and groups that need administrative privileges
in the library must belong to this group or the Administrator group.
Important: A library administrator MUST
ALSO have the "Library Administrator" license feature from
the Spotfire Administrator license, to access the Library Administration
tool.
Scheduled Updates Users – The account that executes scheduled updates must be a member of this group. By default, the account scheduledupdates@SPOTFIRESYSTEM is a member of this group.
Scheduling and Routing Administrator – Membership in this group grants permission to create scheduled updates and routing rules. Members of this group can access the Scheduling & Routing section of the server.
Script
Author - Membership in this group grants permission to save
scripts and data functions as trusted to the library.
Important: Script authors also need the
"Access to extensions" feature or the "Author scripts"
feature, which are part of the Spotfire Extensions license.
Scripts and data functions that are executed by the Web Player or Spotfire
Analyst can essentially do anything deployed packages can do. Therefore,
only trusted users should be granted this permission.
Important: Because scripts can introduce
errors or even cause the Spotfire applications to fail, only users
that have sufficient competence to develop and deploy scripts should
be allowed in this group.
Note: Members can use the task Execute
script in Automation Services Job Builder. Both the account creating
jobs in the Automation Services Job Builder, and the account executing
jobs using the Automation Services service must be members of this
group. Additionally, for editing jobs with a script task, the user
must have the Author Scripts license enabled.
System Account – This group contains the system accounts that are used internally in the Spotfire environment and it cannot be edited.
Web Player Administrator – Legacy group included for Spotfire implementations that have a long upgrade history.
In Spotfire there are several licenses. These contain a number of features which can be enabled or disabled on a more individual level.
Description of the Licenses
Spotfire Diagnostics – the license to the Application Profiler used for gathering information about analysis files.
Spotfire Consumer – the license to use Spotfire Consumer which is needed for users who should have access to analyses in a web browser. Note that any group with this license enabled must also have the Open File and/or Open from Library features under the Spotfire Enterprise Player License enabled.
Spotfire Enterprise Player – this license contains some basic functionality needed by most users. It enables features such as Saving files to disk or to the library, Opening files from the library, Opening linked data, and Exporting to various formats. (For technical reasons, some license features under this license are also needed for users running Spotfire Consumer, Business Author and Analyst.)
Spotfire Analyst – this is the main license for users running the full Spotfire client. All the base functionality of Spotfire is contained here, except the features listed for the Spotfire Enterprise Player license. It is therefore vital that any user that has the Spotfire Analyst license also gets the Spotfire Enterprise Player license.
Spotfire Business Author – the license for Spotfire Business Author which allows you to create and edit analyses from a web client. (For technical reasons, some license features under this license might also be needed for administrative tasks in the web client.)
Spotfire Advanced Analytics – this license controls access to additional analytic features such as custom expressions, the box plot visualization, various statistical features, and advanced aggregation methods. Most users of Spotfire Analyst will need this license as well.
Spotfire Extensions – this license enables users to view and use Spotfire extensions, such as visualization mods, TERR Tools, or custom extensions, which may be added by developers at your company. When new custom license features are deployed on the Spotfire Server, they will appear under this license. You can then enable or disable each individual license feature if you wish.
Spotfire Information Modeler – tools and permissions to set up and edit data sources used by information links.
Spotfire
Administrator – access to the Administration Manager and the
Library Administration tool.
Important: You MUST ALSO be a member of the Administrator group to
get the actual privileges to work on the server.
Important: If you are also a member of the Library Administrator group
you will override all folder permissions in the Library, granting
full control over all content. (By default, the Administrator group
is a part of the Library Administrator group and thus have full access
control over the library as well.)
Spotfire Qualification – the license for Spotfire Qualification.
Spotfire Connectors – enables users to connect and analyze data from external systems either in-database or in-memory, using one or more data connectors. Note that all users with the Spotfire Connectors License must also have the Open Database Data and the Manage Data Tables license features under the Spotfire Analyst license enabled, in order to use any connectors.
Mapping of User Roles and Licenses
At a high level, the mapping between user roles and licences is as follows:
An Analyst is anyone with one or more licenses in the Analyst group switched on. Often, the Analyst also has most licenses under the Business Author, Consumer, Enterprise Player and Advanced Analytics groups switched on.
A Business Author is anyone with one or more licenses in the Business Author group switched on and with all Analyst licenses switched off. Business Authors often also have access to other features from the Spotfire Consumer and Spotfire Enterprise Player licenses, depending on company policies. To be able to use custom expressions and predefined data functions in web clients, a business author user also needs a few licence features from the Advanced Analytics license.
A Consumer is anyone with one or more licenses in the Consumer or Enterprise Player group switched on and with all Business Author and Analyst licenses switched off.
Making a User an Administrator
To be a fully fledged administrator on the Spotfire Server, you need two things. First, you must be a member of a group that has the Spotfire Administrator license. Second, you must be a member of the precreated group Administrator. Naturally, it is a good idea to assign this license to the Administrator group.
Note: If you like, you can create subgroups that are members of the Administrator group. Users who are members of these subgroups are still considered to be members of the Administrator group for the above mentioned purposes.
Note: It is also recommended that an administrator of the Spotfire system has all the licenses enabled. This is to make sure the administrator can define preferences for all features.
Creating Information Links
If you only have the "Create Information Link" feature from the Spotfire Analyst license, this gives you access to the Data > Information designer menu option, from which you can use data sources and elements other people have set up to create a new information link. However, to set up your own data sources and elements, you must also have the Spotfire Information Modeler license.

The user can add a data table, and then add a data function transformation to that data table. If this license is not granted, the Tools > Register Data Function and the Data > Data Function Properties menu items will not be available. Without this license, the user cannot create, edit, or delete data functions or expression functions. Even if a user lacks this license, any existing analyses containing predicted columns continue to function and update based on the data as necessary. (That is, the underlying data functions continue to work.) Note: This license should be granted in conjunction with the Execute Data Functions license, or the user can register but not test (execute) a data function or an expression function. If you do not grant this license, you should not grant licenses for Predictive Modeling or Insert Predicted Columns. |
Execute Data Functions |
Users of the installed client can run, edit and remove data functions and expression functions. Specifically, Analyst users can:
If this license feature is not granted, data functions cannot be accessed from the f(x) flyout, and the Settings button for data tables based on data functions in the Data > Data Table Properties dialog is not available. Even if users do not have this feature, however, existing analyses that contain predicted columns will continue to function and update based on the data as necessary. (That is, the underlying data functions continue to work.) Note: If you do not enable this feature, you should not enable the Register Data Functions, Predictive Modeling, and Insert Predicted Columns features. Business authors running the web client can execute predefined data functions saved in the library (by an analyst running the installed client) from the Files and data flyout or the f(x) flyout, if this feature has been enabled.
|
Pin Data Functions |
The user can pin data functions from the library to the f(x) flyout. See also the f(x) Flyout license feature. |
Predictive Modeling |
The user can create, edit and manage Regression and Classification Models. If this license is not granted, the Regression Modeling and Classification Modeling menu items do not appear. Even if a user lacks this license, any existing analyses containing results from the predictive modeling tools continue to function and update based on the data as necessary. (That is, the underlying data functions continue to work.) If this license is granted, you should also grant licenses for Register Data Functions and Execute Data Functions. |
Insert Predicted Column |
The user can use a predictive model in an analysis to add predicted columns to a data table. If this license is not granted, the Predicted Columns menu item under Insert will not appear. Even if a user lacks this license, any existing analyses containing predicted columns continue to function and update based on the data as necessary. (That is, the underlying data functions continue to work.) If this license is granted, you should also grant licenses for Register Data Functions and Execute Data Functions. |
f(x) Flyout |
Allows a user to view the f(x) flyout. The f(x) flyout is a handy way for Spotfire Analyst authors to easily reach their analytic tools, including native tools and custom data functions that can be pinned to the flyout. Business Author users with the Execute Data Functions license feature can run data functions from the flyout in web clients. See also the Pin Data Functions licence feature. |
|
|
Spotfire Extensions |
|
Access to Extensions |
This license enables users to view and use Spotfire extensions, such as mods, TERR Tools, or custom extensions, which may be added by developers at your company. When new custom license features are deployed on the Spotfire Server, they will appear under this license. You can then enable or disable each individual license feature if you wish. |
Author Scripts |
Allows a user to author scripts. Note: A user must be a member of the Script Author group to save scripts and data functions as trusted to the library. Because scripts can introduce errors or even cause the Spotfire applications to fail, only users that have sufficient competence to develop and deploy scripts should be allowed in the Script Author group. Only scripts and data functions saved to the library as trusted by such a member will execute in the web clients, with an exception for simple TERR-based data functions that can be executed in restricted mode. |
Automation Services Job Builder Tool |
Gives a user access to the Automation Services Job Builder tool, which is used to create automated procedures that carry out multi-step tasks. |
Develop Mods |
Allows a user to create and develop visualization mods and action mods in Spotfire. |

Trust External Actions |
Allows a user to determine whether to trust external actions that have been configured by others. Note that if this license is assigned to the Anonymous User group, users can trust external actions, but trust decisions will not be stored, so the trust decision must be taken each time an analysis containing an untrusted external action is reopened. |
Trust Mods |
Allows a user to determine whether to trust mods that are developed by others. Note that if this license is assigned to the Anonymous User group, users can trust mods, but trust decisions will not be stored, so the trust decision must be taken each time an analysis containing an untrusted mod is reopened. |
Qualification Compare Tool |
Gives access to the Qualification Compare tool, which allows users to verify that a Spotfire analysis gives the same results on different installations of Spotfire. The tool is designed especially for clinical and other regulated industries. An administrator must deploy the Spotfire Qualification package to make the tool available. The Spotfire Qualification license, which is also required, is sold separately. |
Qualification Export Tool |
Gives access to the Qualification Export tool, which allows users to export an analysis with the Qualification tool. An administrator must deploy the Spotfire Qualification package to make the tool available. The Spotfire Qualification license, which is also required, is sold separately. |

Grants access to the Library Administration tool and its functionality. Important: Administrators who need full access control over the entire Library, must also be a member of the Library Administrator group. Being a member of this group overrides all folder permissions in the Library, granting full control over all content. (By default, the Administrator group is a part of the Library Administrator group and thus has full access control over the library as well.)

This is the recommended option for the various people that are tasked to administer sections of the Library in your company. |
